Addicting TV show that takes place in a magical world in which all the characters look like models and even the financially strapped characters manage to dress in Gucci. Even with their ginormous mansions and all their possessions, they still have an abundance of problems and drama.

"Let's go watch the OC and then play the Superbowl Halftime show again on TiVo."
"Screw homework, the OC's on."

Yes, it is addictive, probably inaccurate, and stupid. However, many people (including myself) still love it - that doesn't mean I am trying to pattern my life off of Marissa's, it just means I like the show. So everyone who has nothing better to do than bitch about how it shows the decline of America should find more interesting things to do and realize that everyone is allowed some guilty pleasures; it's only a t.v. show. We all know that.

Miss Mayer 2 U: "(The OC is) A load of crap that illustrates the decline of American society."

Logical Person: "If you allow yourself to be deeply influenced by a show, then yes. But that's your problem."

A teen drama about rich kids from Orange County, California.They all have "problems", it's some what cheesy but also very addictive. Also the actress who play Marissa is wayyy too skinny.

Seth is rad.

Seth:First, I sailed to Catalina. Then, I sailed to Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara, I ran out of snacks. Freaked out a little bit, pawned my boat for cash, took a Greyhound to Portland.
Ryan: You took a bus.
Seth: Yeah. But don't say it like that, cause they're not cool. Have you ever been in one of those? Okay, not for the faint of heart.
Ryan: I can't believe after all that you took a bus.
Seth: Yeah. I think we're definitely going to have to come up with a better story for school though, that'd be good.
Ryan: I don't know, I like the bus idea. I think it's cool.
Seth: Okay, what about maybe... boat sank, saved by whales? It's very Whale Rider.
Ryan: What else you got?
Seth: I took a boat, boat sank, saved by a mermaid? Boat sank, stranded on a desert island...

A show about rich kids living in Orange County but things get shaken up when a poor kid from chino is taken in by the Cohens..a family who live in the o.c. It's drama but it's also very funny because of Seth!

Kirsten: Seth, we need to talk to Ryan.
Seth: Okay. If this has to do with the rug, I just want to tell you that Ryan had nothing to do with it.
Kirsten: What rug?

Sandy: Fellas, do you mind?
Seth: Oh. Uh, if this is about the vase—
Sandy: What vase?
Seth: Hm? Nothing. Let's go, Ryan

Seth: So when you lost your virginity, I was playing Magic the Gathering.
Ryan: You still play Magic.
Seth: Yeah, but not as much
